Parking Sensors - Fiat Bravo Owner's Manual

PARKING SENSORS

(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Parking sensors inform the driver about
the presence of obstacles behind the car
(versions fitted with 4 rear sensors) or be-
hind and in front of the car (versions fit-
ted with 4 rear sensors and 4 front sen-
sors).
This system is therefore an aid for the dri-
ver when parking the car since it detects
obstacles out of the driver's sight range.
The driver is warned of the presence and
distance from the obstacle by an inter-
mittent buzzer (the sound of the buzzer
becomes more frequent as the reduction
of distance between the car and the ob-
stacle decreases).
SENSORS
To detect obstacles the system used 4
sensors located on the front bumper (for
versions/markets, where
fig. 105 and 4 sensors located on the rear
bumper fig. 106.

The system may be activated by pressing
the button t fig. 107 located on the
centre panel: a warning light on the but-
ton comes on when the system is active.

tem begins to emit acoustic signals from
the front or rear indicators as soon as an
obstacle is detected. The frequency aris-
es as soon as the car approaches the ob-
stacle.
